Making a piece of art doesn’t happen overnight. There’s a lengthy process that leads to the final product that includes long nights with limited sleep and sacrificing some of your favorite pieces of clothing to acrylic paint. There are many steps to completing a piece that all artists go through. Every week in my art class we create a new original piece for my “Sustained Investigation” - a series of works based on a question or message. The process for each of them is different, but each one ends with a finished piece that is completely worth it.
